TIL Ray Bradbury first titled Fahrenheit 451 “The Fireman”, then called a local fire station to ask what temperature it would take to actually ignite books. The responding firemen placed him on hold and burnt a book, then reported that the heat required was “Fahrenheit 451″.

That’s such a fire fighter thing to do.

“You know what? That’s a good question. I’m gonna put you on hold while I find out”

My dad used to design kitchens at Lowe’s and one day he got a dude from one of the national labs looking to buy a countertop. Dad sent him home with a sample of a quartz-composite countertop to make sure the color will look good with his existing cabinets. The dude asks my dad what the composition of the countertop is and whether it’ll melt if he puts a pot on it (since it’s a composite and not pure stone) and Dad gives him some rough numbers and reassures him that it won’t melt if he puts a hot pan on the counter. The dude comes back with week later without the sample. The dude gives dad a detailed list of the countertops composition, to the nearest hundredth of a percentile, and the exact temperature it melts at, because he took it to his lab and melted it down.

tldr, it’s not just firefighters.

Imagine giving someone a sample of the granite you use to make countertops and they come back a few days later just to tell you they fucking dematerialized it

a group of wizards playing “dont let it touch the ground” with a magic missile, giggling like children and bouncing it back and forth like a balloon, until one of them drops it and dies screaming in the most horrific explosion you’ve ever seen. the other wizards are unphased and continue the game with a new missile like nothing happened.

Why does this happen though, like who approved any part of this scene

In the vein of Shaymin asks, but in a different direction, how would the Twos react to the other Shaymins in the garden? Maybe a cute tea party with everyone in there?

If anything, humans are naturally programmed for three things:

  1. Consume foods filled with lots of salt, fat, sugar, and carbs.
  2. Find a dry, warm place and get really snuggly
  3. Look at the night sky and wonder

4. Form communities and help each other.

wow players having to stand in lines for a quest because a relevant npc can only talk to one player at a time. is the funniest image on the planet

image

i need to correct this: wow classic doesn’t have any npcs that can only talk to one player at a time. these lines actually formed for a quest npc that players had to kill to complete the objective. knowing that i think this image is even funnier.

the first early hominid to make use of metaphor or allegory must have blown the others away, “your actions will have consequences… just like a tree has fruit!” WOOAHHHH holy shit guys did you catch that

one hominid is so impressed that he goes back home and is like “this cave feels so peaceful tonight… just like a tree has fruit” and everyone makes fun of him

Despite my personal feelings towards this episode, I still think this is one of the funniest scenes in the entire series.
